Pencil trick worked first try!

[Bigdude]

I just did the pencil trick with the L1 bridges on my Duron 650, it worked the first try. I went to 800 to test first on my K7T pro2A, works great, temp is lower than at 650, because I scraped off the pad, and used RadioShack white paste. 33c not too bad, 1.75 volts. Using a CoolerMaster fan, and my old 235watt ps is running good too, sytem monitor shows 5.0v 3.33v and 11.9 for the 12v supplies.

Outstanding!

Can't get it to post faster than 850, upped voltage to 1.84 still only 850. I need 1gig, won't accept lower, I will have to find me another Duron.

if you're really hunting for 1ghz i'd suggest one garunteed to OC from compuwiz, a 750@1ghz will run you $120 or so, damn good if you ask me.

Bigdude: Good job with the pencil trick. However, you'll need a faster chip in order to hit 1GHz. I had a Duron 600 that topped out at 900MHz. Like you I wanted to break the 1 gig threshold so I sold that chip and picked up a Duron 700. That's been running stable at 1.083GHz for 3 months now.

Not bad for first time! But you need a 750 to get it to 1GHz and for it to run stable! Anything lower and it will just be either unstable or not go!

Good Luck,

Albert.

I've got a pair of D600@1000 at 1.85v on a Abit KT7 MB. Stable on both of them.

way to go

heh... damn, my duron 750 that I just got will only post at a gig (133*7.5) even with 1.85v
but it runs great at 933 with 1.75v
I used a HB lead pencil and it worked the first time as well!

Hmm with the case open, I can run my Duron 650@1050 at 1.85V

Case closed, no more than 970 though....OVERHEAT if I just think of running it at 1.85

if you *need* a 1gig cpu, i suggest you buy a 1gig cpu.

"if you *need* a 1gig cpu, i suggest you buy a 1gig cpu"


What would be the fun of that? Anybody can buy a Thunderbird 1gig!
